When did dogs and people become friends? Where did dogs come from? A group of scientists tried to answer these questions. They just finished a study about the history of dogs. In the study, they looked at the DNA of dogs all over the world and found that dogs, like human, shared DNA with their family members. The scientists put together a big family tree for dogs. It went all the way back to the animal's beginning. In this way, scientists learned about the history of dogs. The first dogs lived in Asia. They were born about 33,000 years ago. At first, there were only about 6, 400 of them. Their parents were wolves. The new study answers many questions. It raises some, too. For example, what caused wolves in Asia to become dogs all those years ago? One idea is that their DNA slowly changed and the wolves became dogs in the end. As time goes by, dogs became "man's best friends". Or it could happen the other way around. It was possible that some wolves started living with people before they became dogs. Living with people led to many changes to these wolves. It changed their DNA, So their offspring（后代）became dogs. In other words, it was possible that wolves were our friends before they became dogs. By studying DNA, scientists now have a much better understanding of the history of dogs. ▲ How exactly dogs came to be our friends is still unclear. 19. How did the scientists study the history of dogs? A. By living with dogs. B. By studying the DNA of the dogs. C. By studying all the animals. D. By making friends with the dogs. 20. Which of the following is TRUE about the first dogs? A. They lived in Africa. B. There were born 6400 years ago. C. Their parents were wolves. D. There were about 33,000 dogs. 21. What does the underlined word “some” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Wolves. B. Dogs. C. Ideas. D. Questions. 22. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. However, there is still much to learn. B. But we still know little about wolves' history. C. Because we've learned about dogs' friends. D. So they can explain when dogs became our friends. 【答案】19. B 20. C 21. D 22. A 【解析】 【分析】文章主要讲述了科学家们通过研究狗的DNA研究狗的历史，他们发现狗的祖先是狼。通过研究DNA，科学家现在对狗的历史有了更好的了解。然而，狗到底是如何成为我们的朋友的还不清楚。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the study, they looked at the DNA of dogs all over the world and found that dogs, like human, shared DNA with their family members.在这项研究中，他们观察世界各地的狗的DNA，发现狗，像人类一样，与他们的家族成员分享DNA。”可知，科学家们通过研究狗的DNA研究狗的历史。故选B。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段The first dogs lived in Asia.可知，第一批狗生活在亚洲，故A不正确。根据第三段They were born about 33,000 years ago.可知，狗出生于大约33000年前，故B不正确。根据第三段Their parents were wolves（狼）.可知，狗的祖先是狼，故C正确。根据第三段At first, there were only about 6, 400 of them.可知，起初，只有大约6400只，故D不正确。故选C。 【21题详解】 词义理解题。根据前一句“The new study answers many questions. It raises some, too. 这项新研究回答了许多问题, 也提出了一些问题。”可推出划线单词some指代的是“一些问题”。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据后一句“How exactly dogs came to be our friends is still unclear.狗到底是如何成为我们的朋友的还不清楚。”可知，应是：还有很多东西要去研究学习。故选A。 C What do you usually do on your phone?

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you will drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything. Communication begins with the care of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse. Here is an example: One night Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with her. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel- listening is the key factor to communication. 27. In the writer’s opinion, dealing with parents is ________ than with children. A. much easier B. more careless C. more difficult D. more interesting 28. The underlined phrase “drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A. 合群 B. 漂流 C. 疏远 D. 满意 29. Sophie’s example here is used to show that ________. A. Sophie is very polite to her parents B. It’s OK to come back home late at night. C. Sophie’s parents are very kind and listen to her D. Communication is the way to solve misunderstanding 30. All the following are true EXCEPT (除了) “________”. A. Communication is a two-way deal B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than saying nothing D. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know 【答案】27. C 28. C 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了沟通在人际关系中的重要性，特别是与父母相处时。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.”可知，如今，与孩子相处是件难事，而与父母相处更是难上加难。故选C。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“If you are not able to communicate, you will drift apart.”可知，如果你们不能沟通，你们就会渐行渐远。drift apart意为“疏远”，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Communication is the key factor here.”可知，例举Sophie的例子是为了说明沟通是关键因素，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.”可知，大喊大叫或走开只会让情况变得更糟。故选B。 四、任务型阅读（本题有5小题，每小题1分；共计5分） 下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项 Most of you may not know how to plan your vacation well.

When I was in Grade 9, I ___50___ realized that I should give all my attention to my studies because I was going to take the exams to get into a good senior high school. 【答案】46. of 47. changed 48. best 49. importance 50. suddenly 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者从贪玩到努力学习的学习成长历程。 【46题详解】 句意：起初，我把所有时间都花在玩游戏上，而不是坐在教室里学习。instead of意为“而不是”，固定词组，故填of。 【47题详解】 句意：然而，在老师的帮助下，我改变了以往在学校的行为方式。根据“the way I used to behave”和“with the help of my teachers”可知，此处表示“改变”，空处缺少谓语动词，表示发生过的事情使用一般过去时，故填changed。 【48题详解】 句意：我尽力在学业上表现良好并遵守校规。try one’s best to do sth.意为“尽某人最大努力做某事”，固定词组，故填best。 【49题详解】 句意：八年级时，我明白了努力学习的重要性。根据“the…of working hard”可知，此处需填名词表示“重要性”，important对应名词是importance，意为“重要性”。故填importance。 【50题详解】 句意：九年级时，我突然意识到应该全身心投入学习，因为我要参加考试进入一个好的高中。根据“realized that I should give all my attention”可知，此处表示“突然意识到”，修饰动词realize需要副词，sudden的副词形式为suddenly，意为“突然”，故填suddenly。 六、语法填空（本题有10小题，每小题1分，共计10分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 Is it important for children to help their parents ____51____ housework?

Here are some students’ problems and Helen’s replies. Hi! Helen. I share a bedroom and a desk with my elder sister. She hardly ever keeps quiet. I have to prepare for my exams these days, but I can’t focus my mind on my schoolwork when she’s studying too. The desk is always full of her things, so I can’t find my things easily. When I talk with my sister about that, she gets angry. Can you help me? —Alice Hi! Alice. Why not use the desk at different times? Or maybe you can study in the library a few days a week. If it’s easier to write instead of talking face to face, put pen to paper and explain how you feel. —Helen Hi! Helen. I just find it hard to study. I can’t keep on studying hard. What’s worse, I keep feeling that I’m learning the wrong things. I’m hopeless. —Judy Hi! Judy. Your problem is very real and lots of people experience the same thing as you. Why not set up a study group? You can meet a couple of days a week after school to study together and take turns to teach each other. It is useful to lots of students, so have a try! —Helen 16.

B People and dogs have been living together for hundreds of years. When did dogs and people become friends? Where did dogs come from? A group of scientists tried to answer these questions. They just finished a study about the history of dogs. In the study, they looked at the DNA of dogs all over the world and found that dogs, like human, shared DNA with their family members. The scientists put together a big family tree for dogs. It went all the way back to the animal's beginning. In this way, scientists learned about the history of dogs. The first dogs lived in Asia. They were born about 33,000 years ago. At first, there were only about 6, 400 of them. Their parents were wolves. The new study answers many questions. It raises some, too. For example, what caused wolves in Asia to become dogs all those years ago? One idea is that their DNA slowly changed and the wolves became dogs in the end. As time goes by, dogs became "man's best friends". Or it could happen the other way around. It was possible that some wolves started living with people before they became dogs. Living with people led to many changes to these wolves. It changed their DNA, So their offspring（后代）became dogs. In other words, it was possible that wolves were our friends before they became dogs. By studying DNA, scientists now have a much better understanding of the history of dogs. ▲ How exactly dogs came to be our friends is still unclear. 19. How did the scientists study the history of dogs? A. By living with dogs. B. By studying the DNA of the dogs. C. By studying all the animals. D. By making friends with the dogs. 20. Which of the following is TRUE about the first dogs? A. They lived in Africa. B. There were born 6400 years ago. C. Their parents were wolves. D. There were about 33,000 dogs. 21. What does the underlined word “some” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Wolves. B. Dogs. C. Ideas. D. Questions. 22. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A. However, there is still much to learn. B. But we still know little about wolves' history. C. Because we've learned about dogs' friends. D. So they can explain when dogs became our friends. C What do you usually do on your phone?

If I have learned anything in my 16 years it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you will drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything. Communication begins with the care of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse. Here is an example: One night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with her. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel- listening is the key factor to communication. 27. In the writer’s opinion, dealing with parents is ________ than with children. A. much easier B. more careless C. more difficult D. more interesting 28. The underlined phrase “drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means ________. A. 合群 B. 漂流 C. 疏远 D. 满意 29. Sophie’s example here is used to show that ________. A. Sophie is very polite to her parents B. It’s OK to come back home late at night. C. Sophie’s parents are very kind and listen to her D. Communication is the way to solve misunderstanding 30. All the following are true EXCEPT (除了) “________”. A. Communication is a two-way deal B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than saying nothing D. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know 四、任务型阅读（本题有5小题，每小题1分；共计5分） 下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项 Most of you may not know how to plan your vacation well.
